Love has no age, no limit; and no death.
Did Nature permit a Forsyte not to make a slave of what he adored? Could
beauty be confided to him? Or should she not be just a visitor, coming
when she would, possessed for moments which passed, to return only at her
own choosing? 'We are a breed of spoilers!' thought Jolyon, 'close and
greedy; the bloom of life is not safe with us. Let her come to me as she
will, when she will, not at all if she will not. Let me be just her
stand-by, her perching-place; never-never her cage!'
....causing the animal to wake and attack his fleas; for though he was
supposed to have none, nothing could persuade him of the fact.
"It's always worth while before you do anything to consider whether it's

EXCERPTS FROM THE FORSYTE SAGA
A thing slipped between him and all previous knowledge
Afraid of being afraid
Afraid to show emotion before his son
Always wanted more than he could have
Aromatic spirituality
As she will, when she will, not at all if she will not
Attack his fleas; for though he was supposed to have none
Avoided expression of all unfashionable emotion
Back of beauty was harmony
Back of harmony was--union
Beauty is the devil, when you're sensitive to it!
Blessed capacity of living again in the young
But it tired him and he was glad to sit down
But the thistledown was still as death
By the cigars they smoke, and the composers they love
Change--for there never was any--always upset her very much
Charm; and the quieter it was, the more he liked it
Compassion was checked by the tone of that close voice
Conceived for that law a bitter distaste
Conscious beauty
Detached and brotherly attitude towards his own son
Did not mean to try and get out of it by vulgar explanation
Did not want to be told of an infirmity
Dislike of humbug
Dogs: with rudiments of altruism and a sense of God
Don't care whether we're right or wrong
Don't hurt others more than is absolutely necessary
Early morning does not mince words
Era which had canonised hypocrisy
Evening not conspicuous for open-heartedness
Everything in life he wanted--except a little more breath
Fatigued by the insensitive, he avoided fatiguing others
Felt nearly young
Forgiven me; but she could never forget
Forsytes always bat
Free will was the strength of any tie, and not its weakness
Get something out of everything you do
Greater expense ca
